He said in sunlight the range of metabolic processes is increased. That implies indoor light reduces your metabolic capability
Yes…I’ve heard Dr Alexis Cowen say the same thing.
Correct.
Not implying but using logic to comprehend the facts.
Incorrect. Implying is the proper word choice
@@doctorcrafts uh, that's the word I used
I was going to leave a big long comment but I decided there was something more succinct and erudite to say. Here it is : The closer to Paleo Man (or his good wife) that we get the healthier we become.
Carnivore and playing in the sun is proper human behaviour.
Fruits and plants are what then?
@@StarvingMyselfToLIFE Toxic poisons full of Lectins, Phytates, Goitrogens, Oxalates and Anti-Nutrients.
Humans do best with fatty ruminants. I have not eaten plants, carbs nor fibre for over 2 years and my blood work is great.
@@adelarsen9776 Yeah...funny, I know folks who haven't eaten those foods for decades and experience excellent outcomes. Leads me to believe there is no "proper" diet outside of the one that works for the individual
@@StarvingMyselfToLIFE Carnivore diet works for everyone.
Dr Ken Berry and Dr Anthony Chaffee can help you.
@@adelarsen9776 I don't need their help. I haven't eaten red meat in 25 years and I have zero issues. No meds, no eyeglasses, no joint pain, sleep well, energy without bound...I do eat chicken and fish though...
The best grocery shopping experience I ever had was when there was a blackout and we just had the natural light coming through the windows. Normally I detest shopping and it makes me feel stressed, but on that day I was as calm as a cucumber. Im very sensitive to fluorescent lights. I feel tense whenever I enter a building with fluo. Lighting. During our avocado harvest season, we're outside picking in the morning. I love it. In the afternoons we have to work in a windowless packhouse. I hate it. When I have to spend lots of time in the house I naturally gravitate to the windows, and the wood fire in the winter.
Remember that a wood fire, any fire, is also an artificial light.
@@MrScaramoosh Fire light is full of infrared and long wave red light which is healthy and beneficial.
I'm emf/light hypersensitive.
Notice the lighting in all commercial buildings esp hospitals. I recently accompanied my 87 yo mother to an optometrist's cavernous office flooded with harsh fluorescent lighting - felt
energetically depleted and unwell. Mind boggling -
Blue light blocking glasses and hats under artificial light, helps immensely, also see early podcasts of Dr jack Kruse.
I've always liked walking outside especially in the summer. I never realised how much good it was doing. Great stuff.
This is such a powerful interview! Thank you Dr. Gulhane. The information Dr. Fosbury shared about infrared light scattering from the foliage of plants and trees and that we can receive that by just being outside in the shade and that it will penetrate our clothes. Dr. Petra
I saw that Robert Fosbury said at the beginning of this podcast that he didn’t know anybody else who is involved in this level of research. Well, as you could see from the comment right before me I’m not the only one talking about Dr. Jack Kruse. But these two gentlemen should get together because Jack Kruse has connected more dots in this area of light and other biological responses than anyone else that I’ve ever heard.
Kruse can get one confused over the topic. SOmewhat. He over-emphasizes the role of light and has mistakes in interpreting quantum physics etc. He'd also wrong about deuterium. I'm glad that we have someone here that is an actual physicist instead.
@@0626lovehis recently modified his deuterium stuff
Would love a guide about adapting indoor spaces to be a better light environment apart from things NOT to do.
Red candescent light bulbs help.
Open a window,
Sky light could be opened open doors if no windows glass room extension conservatory which I use with opened doors bifolding doors big sliding doors All these needs money .
There’s not much you can do. You have to go outside. The point is not to make the inside liveable, the point is to live outside. There is no way around it
What about adapting your behavior?
A hack for filament bulbs is oven bulbs. They still available everywhere. 😊
Currently, I am listening to this broadcast in approximately 100° Texas weather on my balcony directly in the sun. Hint I keep tapwater in my refrigerator at 33° and it’s delightful to pour it over my head every few minutes absolutely invigorating.
I will be checking back for Bobs PDF. Thank you both.
Yes
Me too!
Great conversation. Thank you Drs Fosbury and Gulhane! And Max, in particular, your nuanced mentioning on a few occasions, of how important ALL sunlight is INCLUDING UV light, was really appreciated. I sensed a bit of a fear-based perspective from your guest when it came to that particular topic (UV). You expressed your ideas wonderfully and respectfully. Important stuff!
Excellent. And Dr. Martin Moore-Ede points out that our light bulbs, even incandescents, have nowhere near the 20 nm of SKY BLUE we need during daylight hours for circadian health (with less than 2 nm after sunset). I also recommend NIR lights from Sauna Space
Wonderful information! This segment answered so many questions for me. I'm on a quest to heal myself of MS. Thank you both for this conversation!
My mother years ago would sit under our huge tree in the yard in the summer and I noticed how brown she would get.
I m enjoying my red light lamp in this moment.😇❣️Thank you for the interesting topic.
I m more in the electric/plasmatic univers theory. It makes more sense to me.
The work of David Talbott on universal mythology, Velikovsky made me think about our mitochondria evolving under a different star, a red star... Life loves 670nm❣️
When saturn venus and mars ruled the sky /my evolving wisdom is my go to sleep program
Is not that we don't stay in the sun, i know people living mostly outside on Portugal, at the end of August her D3 was under 25...
I live in rural România and we spend most of the time outside, and we're still deficient in D3. Wich made me think that is something wrong with the wavelength from our sun. Maybe the uvb is moving up, in x and gamma.
The olders of my village, told us that the sun is different from 20 yares before. Dey worked out, all day long, in the summer.
So, i think, cose we are going in grand solar minimum, is normal for this big plasma z pinch we call sun, to change plasma regime, and start emitting different light spectrum.
All the best from Romania 😇❣️🙏
Excellent discussion! I have installed an infrared sauna in my home and also have red light therapy panels. I just ordered some incandescent bulbs. I suffered mitochondrial damage from medication and an ICU stay. I ferl much better using the infrared devices and get at least 20 minutes of natural sunlight on as much bare skin as is culturally acceptable daily. Thank you for such good information.
Lovely to see a different lens being used to provide fresh illumination on a critical topic. We are an extraordinarily arrogant species. We seem to have to blunder into harms before we try to fix them. One of these will cause the end of our species at some point……..the analogy between ultra processed food and restricted light exposure seems so strong.
"Does lighting allow our biology to do anything other than see the world?"
"Are we really limited to the visible spectrum with LED lighting in our homes and offices?"
"Are there any health impacts to not getting the entire radiation spectrum of the sun in our indoor lighting?"
I recently watched the video "Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains LED Lights". Unlike Robert Fosbury, Neil didn't ask any of these questions. He assumes efficiency of our lighting can only be described in the context of its visible luminance. Our astrophysicist and science-blogger really dropped the ball on this one. I hope Neil swallows his pride and puts out a correction-video; it could make a huge difference.
Brilliant video, Max. Like Zimmerman's "Melatonin and the Optics" paper, my first reaction to this video is that I must watch it again -- at least 3 times. And generate a transcript. It takes repetition to understand -- to absorb -- these ideas. One original meme I've considered:
Visible-only LED lighting is like smoking cigarettes.
"Warm spectrum" visible-only LED lighting is like smoking low tar cigarettes.
Another one: Indoor lighting systems that only radiate in the visible spectrum are photonic liars -- an aberration of nature.
I wish that someone had a simple cheaply-reproducible writeup to demonstrate the altered viscosity of EZ water. Something like a Make Magazine do-it-yourself writeup would be peachy. Besides easy reproducibility of the creation of an EZ, the experiment could also show that the EZ dissipates when the energy source is removed. There is huge skepticism -- pseudoskepticism -- about Pollack's work. If the masses could see how easy it is to materially alter water, those pseudoskeptical dismissals should disappear.
Thank heavens for the TH-cam algorithm. I doubt I would have found your work without it.
If it's not sittting correctly between the sun and the earth then it's probably going to have to adapt or lose efficiency, function or worse.
Neil is a swarm Puppet. He lost it all when promoting CVaxx19
Why are you watching Neil deGrasse Tyson?
@@lreeher Because I have hope that NDT would fix his bad science, and that would help us get to the point where Red and NIR components were added to our indoor LED lighting. If he knows better, I think he could -- and would -- up his game.
My nose is an antenna tuned to Cajun food:)
fascinating discussion
This is going to be fire!
Absolutely brilliant podcast. As usual. Again! Love the way you asked that question at the end Dr Max (re set up of lights)… I was googling Amazon thinking “which one” etc.
El salvador great to know that
Homeostasis seems more like Persistent Harmonious Pressure Mediation,
Homeostasis is the ability of living systems to maintain a steady internal environment, or "internal milieu", in order to function and survive. It involves constantly adjusting many variables, such as body temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar, and fluid balance, to keep them within certain limits and respond to changes inside and outside the body. The goal of homeostasis is to maintain this balance without being overcome by external stimuli that could disrupt it.
Nice guest choice
Goodmorning 🌞 so interesting. Thank you
If you turn the sunlight off you’re going to be dead - why the hell are we being sprayed to oblivion and having what little sun we get extinguished? I’m in southern east England and the solar dimming/geoengineering been horrific this year
Exactly...this is being done on purpose. It's horrible.
@@MinkaLovesPineapples if you’re in the US there’s a glimmer of hope, I believe Tennessee is the first state to not only recognise it but start the process to have it banned.
On purpose? They are practicing for when the second sun appears so that it can be blocked out, otherwise it will get too hot for us. Our sun is a hole in the sky created by the moon, the moon is an asteroid. They are both exactly the same size. There is going to be another asteroid that hits.
How about at first sunrise in the AM? Hopefully you can get some at that time.
Also turning off all blue light on every device you use and using only red light after sunset will decrease a lot of health implications
There is a very real, natural reason why England often experiences overcast weather.
This was so highly important in my learning experience (I'm studying Ancient African Temples....the original grid of stone circles) that I HAD to share this link with my three children! Absolutely imperative to share this groundbreaking health and wealth for our species! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
very very interesting. My intuition strait away agrees with your ideas.
And sorry to get off topic but very important if you ask me. As for the declining general health, lets not forget all the recent RMNA injections. John Chambell channel proofs this via all kinds rapports of highly knowleable researcher.
Let there Be Light!
Seed oils are to be avoided.
Absolutely brilliant discussion thank you
Wonderful gents, thank you💓
Trees should be called -- _'Light Catchers'_
Wonderful material Thank you.
Please give us a link to Robert’s lighting source he mentioned.
Yes please
My apartment is designed for maximal light admission. You don't have to have any lights on during the day not even in the bathrooms. I love it and I always feel rested and alert.
Excellent news about El Salvador. Once they forbid everything here in California, we can go South to get stuff...
You are an astrophysicist, you know how to change voltage.I'm a single woman in New Hampshire.I have no idea how to do that
I live in N.H., too.
Great podcast 🎉
Fantastic interview, learned so much! (Is the lighting pdf available?).
need that pdf for the tungsten lamp!
LOVE LOVE your guests
I live in Southern New Hampshire.Going outside for sunlight is sunlight is sometimes not that easy to do
The sun doesn't shine there?🤔🤔
Has this issue been addressed or even thought about?
All mitochondria come from the mother. All of us come from a dark womb. The mother's relationship with light must have some influence on the fetus mitochondria. At birth, how many of us are born into sunlight, moonlight, starlight or firelight? How many of us or our birth-mothers were raised under healthy light? Would modern epigenetics take into account the potential impact on infant developmental environmental health? Could this not impact brain and organ structural development, as well as function? To what degree?
And even if you're lucky enough to cime across this or any other knowledge here, how can it be used to potentially correct years and decades and generations of weakened health?
Seems the vast majority of us don't/won't stand, and have never stood, a chance.
The womb is not total darkness. Light and infrared light does penetrate, as do the photons.
I don't think there's any way to tease apart the many variables, which vary by type and/or degree. It's the old nature-nurture question too. Your ancestors come from a certain geographical environment that likely predisposes you to certain traits and/or illnesses, whereas your mother's habits and environment during a nine-month pregnancy affect you immediately. And was your birth natural or cesarean? Does it matter as much as we're told? Our ancestors certainly didn't have a vaccination schedule.
I haven't finished the video yet but I haven't heard anything about electricity yet in terms of its very recent introduction in human history, but all manner of radio waves and microwaves, etc., are now circling the globe, during which time we've seen the rise of diabetes, cancer, obesity, tinnitus, and more.
A broken connection with nature. 😔
Can a link to the lamb/bulb setup he described at the end be provided? Thanks and so appreciate all the work you do!!
how adequate is the light from the setup he describes near the end of the podcast? I know its not a substitute for being outside, but how much of the benefits can that indoor setup provide?
,,,,being homeless has its perks!,,,,
Many sit on the floor and even in London, often look well despite other life factors.
@@LondonSoundSystem,,,,, living outside is what i meant for the obvious benefits,,,,,
Ps love your handle!
@@LondonSoundSystem So true. I worked in central London and often commented on how the homeless looked far healthier and happier than the miserable looking commuters, myself included!
Half way through here, and wondering, Does he ever get to what Pollack described in the Fourth Phase of Water? The absorber of IR in the cell is the WATER, and used to make the EZ water our cells need to power the flow of life!
Hello, near-infrared led works great and red also. Lige 700nm and 830 to 930nm :-)
Good evening and thank you very much for your contribution to health and well being. Having grown up in Greece, where the light is unique in my opinion, i couldn t work in an office in Germany , where i lived for 15 years, the darkest period of my life. I was constantly ill and i knew that it had to do with the light. I found the day lamps made me sick. I came back to my country and feel healthy again. In my opinion there s not much consideration of the significance of light and noboby s thinking about protecting it.
fascinating discussion.Thank You
Are any light manufacturers adding infrared LEDs to their existing white LED bulbs? Seems like that would be very helpful
Just 15 minutes sitting in the sun changes my perspective on any problem. ("42" the answer to everything)
Wasn’t 42 the number in Hitchhikers?!
Looking forward to this
Excellent interview. Any chance of a link to Bob's pdf?
Awesome interview! Are there Amazon links for the lighting solutions yet?
A 275 watt infrared heat lamp coupled through a blocking diode in series halves the duty cycle and cuts the energy nicely.
Thanks. Well done. Not a criticism, but if the sound could be more balanced, it would help. I turned sound up to hear one speaker and down to listen to the other.
Threw away my sunglasses a few years ago and my formerly brown eyes are turning green.
My sister s eyes turned from green to blue!
Look it up mate - there are microbes that use minerals dissolved in the waters near deep sea vents. There are worms and small insect-like creatures that feed on the microbes, and these worms and creatures also do not need sunlight.
Do those deep sea vents seep hot sulphurous lava? …which includes heat and invisible infra red light? No idea,myself; but I remember a documentary where the creatures were tightly limited to proximity of vent. Good to think about 🤔
Light is sound.
I love your channel max
Those photons are informing the body with their informational energy. If one can feel the warmth from the Sun, then there is a connection with it, this connection like the frequency from Radio One then can carry information as radio one carries stereo audio, traffic data and other information. Am appropriate connection might just provide for appropriate outcome, no? Also, that connection can provide for us to relax, broaden our perception and better match connections between things, from the past using memory and from the future using imagination. We can talk about biochemical observations such as Dopamine reactions in the eye etc.
Mind boggling. I’m in awe🤩
should we be using incandescent bulbs in lamps in order to be exposed to more infrared light?
Helpful indoors am and pm,
Presumably animal life has evolved to allow it to function both in the non-excited and excited states for almost all possible chemical reactions, otherwise darkness would be harmful, or light would be. That's quite an evolutionary achievement! Presumably a few light reactions may result in something locally harmful, but are rare enough that you statistically gain more than you lose in sunlight.
21:45 he said it all, no need to watch past this. You're welcome.
Scurvy is actually hypervitaminosis A.
Awesome
What’s the bulb he spoke about
Uncle Jack has been saying this for 20 years. Food is not the issue. Light. Especially non visual light is where the magic happens. Decentralised out of equilibrium quantum interactions with wet state semiconductors.
I'm of the opinion with my work that non visual light becomes sub audible vibration or frequency. Ie cymatic in nature, which I belive creates form based on function. The 3d vibrational realm we experience. Ie life.
Interesting thank you. I live in South Africa and, like Australians, we largely live an outdoor life which is a major cause of skin cancer. How do we balance that out ?
There's a difference between melanoma and skin cancer.
Sun exposure increases the risk for skin cancer, which isn't really that dangerous. But it decreases the risk for melanoma, which is lethal.
Sun avoidance is as dangerous as excessive exposure!
The rule is be outdoor in the sun, but avoid sunburns.
Perhaps even better, be outside under a tree. That indirect sunlight is perfect for us!
I guess that the skin protection our skin produces, if we give it time, is pretty effective. The pigmentation generated places itself precisely over the DNA of the skin cells which has to be protected.
Investigate the carnivore diet.
What does Dr Fosbury think about the idea of searching for the origins of life in hot vents at some of the deepest and darkest parts of the oceans?
Resonates at 670 nanometers❤
Ayu Khandro, very famous Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, spent the last 50 years of her life in “dark retreat”. Living in total darkness in order to do various spiritual practices. She lived until age 115.
Long periods in dark retreat is not uncommon amongst Tibetan Buddhist practitioners.
You commented something along the lines that the light environment exacerbates the food situation. I think the mind environment is fundamental, and the light and food environment becomes important when the mind is not in pristine condition. I doubt very much that this will be investigated by scientists.
I don't know if you are aware of this, but a lot of eastern mystics lie about things such as this to scam gullible westerners out of a chunk of dough. this sounds like one of those things
Spiritual light is ushered in differently, if the internal landscape is at peace with tranquility, then that orchestration is supremely right and best, to receive the energy and information.
Ive heard of people who smoked cigarettes all their lives and lived well into their 90's...probably still not a good idea.🤔
So the sun drives all life.
Light and magnetism before life.
I just bought the platinum biomax three thousand and that will have to be my sunlight in the winter
It could be totally overcast outside and there would still be highly beneficial. Don't be fooled into thinking, it has to be a clear sky in order to benefit
Light is a cluster of expanding electrons. Start at start. “The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, Mark McCutcheon for proper physics including the CAUSE of gravity, electricity, magnetism, light and well.... everything. Expanding electrons ‘ power’ photosynthesis and our - and other creatures- eyeballs visual processing.
Light innovated those antennae, which then received more energy and information to provide for more complexity, so on and so forth. The key is to consciously get back into the correct arrangement in order to be the best receiver. From the unknown, into the known, we are inspired, in our imagination, from which we can manifest, mentally and physically but we do not create, only tune in.

Talked a lot about high rises and what not but not everyone works or lives in a high rise. There is the issue of those who live in regular houses what with the banning of in candescent lights and the chem trailing that blocks out the sun. Here where I live if the sun shines for ywo days the jets are up making clouds and blocking the sun. This is critical especially if you live in the far north where it's dark for long periods of time. Last summer was really bad here where I am because it rained (lots of chem trailing) and the winter was long and dark. By the end of winter I was really sick with MS like symptoms. So it isn't just about making better windows. Bill Gates is also talking about cutting down trees and burying them. Sweet huh.
The cells are, die pol photo- electric transistors it looks like at base. Melanin translocation is also key.
Managing deuterium depleted water seems to be a problem ❤. What a mess
What a thoughtful man on mitochondria and light and yet he believes in "space stations" and worked for the Euro version of NotASpaceAgency?
Their goal is to reduce population and once this is understood, the indoor lighting and windows are by design and not incidental.
The music at the end could be eliminated or at least soft. I can only listen at night& if i fall asleep...it wake me up😢 Thank you for considering it.
We are farmers... so its nice to know some additional benefits😊
Good visual acuity, allowing you to split hairs

Is it safe to use an infrared sauna ...if you have both hips replaced ... thanks
If you walk outside but you are wearing plastic shoes and not grounded, you can't actually absorb the light correct?
Derp
This was a very interesting discussion. BTW did you take the medical experiments? As if you did then everything you say is questionable...
It is wrong to compare junk processed foods and light. This indicates poor deep education in logics and philosophy of dialogue . We are comparing unrelated concepts and different fundamental variables in both. Junk food is not natural and un healthy . Full stop. No need to romanticise the foods industry. It is ignorance of the consumers and the suppliers. The goal is not optimal health but to survive in market economy.
We can't compare them, but we can put them in the same category?Not natural .

Some constructive criticism- the noise-gate is very jarring to listen to. Leave it raw.
It’s so unfortunate to have to sit at a desk in front of a computer under tube lighting all day. Just gross. Are full spectrum bulbs better?
Yesyes
No one knows who discovers water…but it wasn’t a fish.
Kruse can get one confused, he does mistakes in interpreting quantum physics etc., also bad suggestions in regards to deuterium. I'm happy to hear actual physicists are dealing with the matter.
Wow
NO……Monsanto/Bayer and WEF know what’s good for them…….uh…I mean, you. Money is health.
